What should I do if account confirmation isn't working?
Sometimes, our account confirmation emails, which you need to use in order to fully "activate" your account and use our website properly, go astray.
If you've just tried registering an account and haven't received your account confirmation email, the first thing we ask is that you check your Other/Spam folder (sorry, we have to ask this - you'd be surprised how often this is the solution!).
If you've checked your Spam folder and still can't find your email, please try simply logging in with your new account details - sometimes, your account will already have been confirmed, with no need for further confirmation.
If that doesn't work, you can request a new confirmation email via this link: https://www.cosmicelk.com/register/resend
If, after all these steps, you still cannot access your account, please email support@cosmicelk.com and we'll look into it further.
What if I can't remember or access the email address I used to register?
We cannot discuss accounts, or make any alterations to an account, without the express, explicit permission of the account owner.
This means that, if you've forgotten your account details and cannot contact us directly from your original account email address (or in very extreme cases, prove to us in other ways that you are the account owner), we cannot remind you of any account details or make any changes. If you can't remember your account email address at all, there is very little we can do to help you and your account may be lost.
Please make sure your account details are kept safe and secure and don't lose them. We hate to leave problems unsolved or questions unanswered, but the security of our player base and their account details is incredibly important to us, so we will likely not be able to assist you.
I can't login to my game client account, or my credentials are invalid. What can I do?
If the client or website is giving you an "invalid credentials" error message when you go to log in, it means that your email address and/or password are not correct. Please try to simply re-enter your details, remembering to check for upper/lowercase letters.
Can you change my account email address / forum name / IGN?
Unfortunately, there is currently no option for us to change the details on an account.
What is Account Guard, and how does it work?
Account Guard is a server-side protection that helps prevent the compromising of player accounts. Every time you log into the website or the game client from a new device or location, the Account Guard will ask you to enter a security code. This security code will be sent to the email address associated with your game account. Once you enter the code, your current location and device will be whitelisted for your account.
What should I do if I do not receive my security code?
First, make sure that you are checking the correct email address. Afterwards check the spam / junk folders of your email address.
Should you not receive an email after an hour, please try logging in again, as that generates a new security code and dispatches a new mail. Please refrain from trying too often too fast, as a high number of security code mails could lead to them being marked as spam or even blacklisted by your email provider.
If you are still unable to obtain your security code, please get in touch with support@cosmicelk.com from the address your game account is tied into, so we can investigate further.
2. REFERRAL REWARDS
How can I refer friends?
Very easily. Just send them your referral link which you can find athttps://www.cosmicelk.com/profile/referral/overview. Note that you must have an account and be logged into the website to view your personalized referral page.
If your friends sign up after clicking your link, you will be registered as their referrer and you will earn rewards when your friend buys 30 days or more of Premium status for the first time.
Which items will I receive for referring friends?
Your very first referral ever will earn you a Recruiter’s Pile of Tomes, worth a significant amount of Fame.
Additionally, special seasonal reward items are given out for the 1st, 3rd and 5th qualifying referral per season. These rewards change with every referral season.
When will I receive my referral Gold reward?
Your referral Gold will be credited to your account 7 days after your friend has purchased 30 days or more of Premium for the first time.
How much Gold will I get for referring friends?
Every referred friend that buys 30 days or more of Premium for the first time will earn you 500 Gold, delivered to your account 7 days after their purchase.
Why are my referrals shown as "pending"?
If a referral is showing as "pending", the transaction has not yet been finally cleared. Due to the potential for chargebacks and cancellations, this clearance can take up to 7 business days.
If a referral is pending, it means that the referral has been successful, i.e. the referral was made correctly; our system is just waiting on confirmation that the transaction has cleared.
Why is there a countdown in my referral overview?
The countdown shows the remaining time in the current referral season. Each referral season usually lasts for a calendar month and all your referred friends that make their first Premium purchase of 30 days or more during this time count towards that season’s progress.
Every new season, there is another set of cool item rewards you can aim for. This applies on top of the Gold rewards you can earn.

The forum rules can be found in this post . Please read them before posting!
How do I report non-game issues (problems with the website, forum, etc.)?
Sometimes issues of a technical nature occur outside of the game, like website or forum issues, or perhaps connectivity problems. Please report these issues to technical support: support@cosmicelk.com.
Our technical support team will address your concerns as quickly as possible.
There's a bug in the game. How do I report it?
You can report a bug in game by typing the following into your chat window: #bug “report”. You will get a confirmation that it has been transmitted to us and we will look into it.
The best way to submit a more detailed report is via our forums: https://forum.cosmicelk.com/index.php/Board/6-Bugs/.
Please make the report as concise yet as detailed as you can, including, if applicable:
- The name and tier of the bugged weapon/building/item, etc.
- The name of the bugged ability
- Exact numerical values
- Any sort of visual presentation of the bug - video or screenshot, if possible
Important note: Please make your bug reports as clear as possible. Reports such as “my sword isn’t doing enough damage” are not helpful, and slow down the QA team. Try something like “my T2 Broadsword autoattack should be doing X points of physical damage, but is only doing Y.”
Thank you in advance for your reports – every bug we can find and squash means a better Albion Online!
How do I report cheats and exploits?
Please note that we take cheating and exploit-abuse very seriously, and our usual reaction is an immediate ban of the corresponding accounts.
You can help us in detecting cheats and improving our cheat prevention and detection.
Please observe the following process:
- Do not make the exploits or cheats public. This will only encourage other players to try them out / use them as well.
- Do not alert the alleged cheater that you are going to file a report! We have an internal tool that allows us to track alleged cheaters, thus collecting valuable evidence and also some background info on how the cheat/exploit actually works.
- Do not start using the cheat/exploit yourself.
Please report cheats and persons you suspect of cheating through either our reports forum (which only employees of Sandbox Interactive can read) or by sending an email to support@cosmicelk.com. Please include the following information:
- Character name of the alleged cheater
- Short description of the cheat/exploit: how does it work, what does it do? Can you reproduce it? How?
- Ideally link to a video showing the cheat/exploit in action
What languages does Albion Online support?
Albion Online is available in English, German, Russian, French, Polish, Brazilian Portuguese, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, and Korean. We are always keeping an eye on whether it is feasible to add additional languages.
We want our localization to be of the highest standard. Implementing and keeping a new language is up to date is a serious effort - and if we do it, we want to do it right.
